{ldapsearch|ldapadd|ldapmodify} -y passwfile fails

["Mark Par" <mrbpar@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I'm getting an error using the -y switch for the ldapsearch, ldapadd,
and ldapmodify programs when specifying the password.  I do, however,
get positive results when using the -w switch.

Using ldapsearch, the exact command and error are:

$ ldapsearch -H ldap://10.0.0.2 -x -D 'cn=manager,dc=company,dc=com'
-y passwdfile -b 'ou=people,dc=company,dc=com' '(uid=mark.par)'
ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)
$

$ ldapsearch -H ldap://10.0.0.2 -x -D 'cn=manager,dc=company,dc=com'
-w PassWord -b 'ou=people,dc=company,dc=com' '(uid=mark.par)'

I am using NetBSD 3.1.0_PATCH and OpenLDAP 2.3.32 compiled from the
packages collection (pkgsrc). Could anyone provide some hints?

Thanks,
Mark
